Manchester United rule out loan deal

Sir Alex Ferguson has rejected Burnley’s bid to to take young Manchester United midfield star Paul Pogba on loan The Mirror reports.

Clarets boss Eddie Howe identified the 18-year-old Frenchman as he looks to inject some quality into his struggling side after a disastrous start to their Championship campaign.

He has been tipped to achieve great things at Old Trafford ever since signing for the club from Le Harve in 2009 with his performances for the under-18’s and reserve side haven’t gone unnoticed.

First team football has yet to come his way although he was on the bench for United’s FA Cup tie against Crawley Town and it seems he’ll have to wait a little longer for his first taste after Ferguson poured cold water on interest from Turf Moor.

The United boss told The Mirror: “It’s more difficult to loan a boy of 18 who’s come from France.

“We prefer to keep him with us until we find he’s mature enough to possibly go on loan.

“Maybe next year that could be an option, but we’re definitely expecting him this season to stay with Manchester United.”With Pogba now staying in Manchester it’s likely Howe will turn his attentions to other targets in a bid to ignite his sides season.
